It's On
Che-Fu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been prepping for Christmas parties
Can't be seen with the same dresses
Splurging on my own shopping sprees
It’s been me, me, me for weeks
Everyone has lights on their trees
Buying gifts, no holiday stresses
Everyone's done shopping but me
I wish this Season was about
The time we spend together
Not worried 'n running around
At Macy's, super stressed out
Cuz my list is just too long
All the sales are here and gone
Hurriedly run from store to store to store
Christmas shopping it’s such a chore
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
OH oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
In my dream Santa’s bringing hope
As he kisses Rudolph's nose
Their white sleigh stops on my rooftop
Then he takes me to his toy shop
'N we go to the Nutcracker show
I wanna stay but I really should go
To fight the long lines at the mall
Before the stores officially close
I wish this Season was about
The time we spend together
Not worried 'n running around
At Macy's, super stressed out
Cuz my list is just too long
All the sales are here and gone
Hurriedly run from store to store to store
Christmas shopping it’s such a chore
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
OH oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
OH oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
Christmas’s Eve, candy canes
Lots of eggnog on silver lanes
Jingle bells, fires roar
Happy carolers go door to door
Cuz my list is just too long
All the sales are here and gone
Hurriedly run from store to store to store
Christmas shopping it’s such a chore
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
OH oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
OH oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
OMG, It’s Christmas Eve
Che-Fu's song "It's On" describes the singer's experience on Christmas Eve, as he continues his last-minute holiday shopping amidst the chaos and stress of the season. The lyrics open with the singer struggling to find a new outfit for the many Christmas parties he's planned to attend. He feels overwhelmed and isolated by the focus on consumerism during the holiday season, lamenting that buying gifts has become a stressful chore. In contrast, Che-Fu wishes the season could be about spending time with loved ones rather than material possessions.
As the song continues, however, Che-Fu releases his frustration and shifts his focus to dreaming about a simpler, more joyful Christmas experience. Imagining Santa Claus and Rudolph, Che-Fu envisions himself transported to a magical holiday realm with a Nutcracker show and endless candy canes. Despite the pressures of the season, the song remains hopeful about the possibility of finding peace and happiness on Christmas Eve.
Overall, Che-Fu's song "It's On" offers a poignant commentary on the commercialization of the holiday season and the challenges of navigating its many demands. By acknowledging the stress and frustration that can accompany the season, while still holding on to a sense of hope for a more joyful experience, the song provides a relatable and honest perspective on the complexities of the holiday season.
